I make customized gifts, invitations, and party decor. Please contact me for details and questions. This blog represents a series of projects, and styles, but not the entire range of products I can make. Thank you for stopping by!!

This is an absolutely beaitiful and endearing little book full of goodies!

I also made a coordinating gift bag to go with this mini album. Read my Altered Butterfly post to learn how I made it!

For my cover, I used the Gorguss Girl image stamped onto Digital Paper of my own design. I colored the image with coordinating inks and pencils, fussy cut the paper, and made a pocket to house a tag with a scripture message To complete the cover, I also added dragonflies, pink pearls, flowers, an altered birdcage, and little wings for the small girl image. I finished it with a small sprig of greenery with tiny silver butterflies, and altered the background with gloss and glitter.

The tag is also embellished with a bow, pearl, and smaller tag that has the tiniest silver butterfly. All papers are distressed with Ranger Oxide Inks.

The spine is complete with a vintage trim layered atop an embossed silver cardstock. The matching doily is threaded with a cream ribbon, and topped with a beautiful heart-shaped gem.

I made a total of 6 pages for this book, alternating with pocket, and singular pages. Each pocket contains a tag embellished with a seam-binding bow, a cute little button, and it is wrapped with beautiful trims and laces for the recipient.

The back of each tag is made complete with additional stamped and colored images from the Frames collection.These images are darling, and complemented the paper line perfectly, as the frames also look like little doilies.

Here are close-ups of some of the pages, as well as the inside cover.

For an added surprise, upon opening the book you will see a matching shaker tag that contains sparkly sequins, butterflies. and blue seam binding that echoes the colors on the little Blue Bird, the beautiful papers, and the altered wooden butterfly. This shaker is also magnetic, and stays put on the inside cover!!

I finished the back with a layered grouping of pinks and silver. The top-most layer is embossed with doilies and distressed with pink ink to help it stand out.

I had so much fun making this mini album, and it was had to part with !

In this video tutorial you will learn how use Cricut Design Space 3, Print & Cut, and other little details to make a stand-out Mermaid card for any occasion!

There are 3 videos total.

In the 1st you will learn how to add a Pop-Up element, using Score lines with Cricut Design Space, and shapes available in the Cricut Access library.

In the 2nd video, you will learn how to Add Text to personalize your card. ***Key points are to always EDIT in groups, allowing yourself to work in sections. Once your text looks as you like: Select the entire text box, flatten it, then attach it to your shape. It will automatically cut your shape and keep your text as a print option.***

The 3rd video will explain assembly, as well as the "Bleed" option to printing your shapes. I hope you enjoy learning how to use all of these awesome elements in Cricut Design Space3. Please leave me feedback, or a link to where I can see what you have created!

I was inspired to write this Bible verse to go along with this picture frame and Hope banner. It can be found in Psalm 31: 24, and it reads: "Be strong and take heart all you who hope in the Lord." Suffering from any type of cancer is devastating, and the words of David in what is one of the most beautiful books of the Old Testament can really shed some light into a relationship in which the only comfort that really made a difference was the one promised by our very maker. If you, or someone you know is suffering from this horrible disease, my hope is that you find comfort not only in your surroundings and those you know, but also in the love of our God, just as David did in the darkest moments of his life. For this project I used the Cricut to make the banner and flowers. I hand-painted the Bible verse and background with watercolors, color pencils, and ink. TFL!
I'll also be sharing this over at Link up for Pink.

So have you ever had one? You know, an OMG moment? I end that phrase with "gosh" by the way. And yes, we all have OMG moments, and for that occasion, here's a card! Interpret as you wish. I'd like to enter it into Crafty Creations Challenge #111- In Stitches, and into Scrappy Moms Smiley Cards challenge. TFL!
